Yes, it requires very little maintenance. But when you do clean it, you power wash it or use a stiff broom and a hose. Sweeping up is easy. The big thing I like about the river rock is the fact that it minimizes pooling of water. Even after a big rain storm, you can walk out there without puddles. The stone is semi porous and any water, to a point, drains down to the base level, like a hard sponge. Plus, it doesn't show the dirt like tile or pavers or painted floors.

Would love some 'reasonable' ideas and thanks so much

Another product that the developer offers is called Kool Deck. Usually used around pools and on lanais.

I've noticed that my neighbor's cement walks and patio are dark with what I suspect is mildew or mold. If Chat. River Rock is porous, I would expect the base underneath would over a period of time be accumulate mold and mildew--much worse than the concrete walks and patio that are normally exposed to the air. Is mold and mildew a problem with Chat River Rock that has to be addressed?

[Ooper]

I have to clean mold and mildew off some of my exposed concrete 2 or 3 times a year but I have never noticed any on the river rock. I think because the concrete has microscopic pores that allow the mold to grow but even though we say the river rock is porous, the individual pebbles are coated in the epoxy that binds them together and the epoxy is not porous.

Hi,
Can you use this flooring on your driveway or is it just for lanai??

On occassion I have vacuumed, ( i have an old cleaner that I use for the garage or lanai) but mostly I just use the hose. If you really wanted to clean with a soap solution or a bleach solution you certainly could using a rag mop or or one of your own liking and then still use the hose to finish it off.

[jimbo2012]

Basically this product is simply pebbles mixed into a clear epoxy, it's poured out and then troweled smooth.

So U get a clear epoxy coating with pebbles covering the concrete.

I think a cars weight may crack it, epoxy when dry is brittle like fiberglass.

I'll let others chime in that may have used it.

[Ooper]

I have seen it in use on driveways but I do not know about it's performance. I would think if anything happened, that some of the pebbles might break free from the twisting of the tires. But you would have to ask a professional or, as you say, maybe someone who has this in their driveway could also chime in.
